Pet store beardy. Growth question?

[Felly]

Hi guys. So. I bought my beardy jubjub from a pet store. I know. Stupid. And they said he was 6 months old. He was tiny. He was kept in a container and fed ONE cricket a day. At the time I didnt know any better. But now 6 months on. Hes 1 and he hasnt shed in almost 3 months...im feeding him more. And when I see pics of other peoples beardies. He looks like hes only 6 months old. His head is only about 1 and a half inches across. And hes 17inches long. He seems so tiny. Any comments or answers would be very much appreciated.

Him being 17" isn't bad at all, especially considering his rough start to life! He is a pretty average size, and they will usually grow another inch or so longer before they reach adulthood.

Im happy with his length but his head seems so small. When I see other peoples beardys they look like meat heads. Lol. I know males are smaller but he seems like a scrawny little man.
